I want to install mod_security in some servers(both nginx and httpd) and a lot of tutorials compile mod_security, specially with nginx, but I know that I can install it with yum(yum install mod_security). Is there some sort of recommendation, or any reason why I should compile it?

For the record, I use it via repo, but download de owasp packages manually(it does not support on nginx via repo or at least I could not make it work).

    In general, it is better to use software from your package manager when available, as you won't need to keep it up-to-date manually. Commented Jan 15 at 19:39
  • @EsaJokinen: or add a repository maintained by the package provider. For example, FreeRADIUS provides their own repositories for the major Linux distributions. Commented Mar 12 at 8:44
